The OS installer is stored in the OSX 10.8 folder in two forms, an application and a disk image. To upgrade existing systems running Snow Leopard (10.6.8) or Lion (10.7.x) to Mountain Lion, copy the “Install OS X Mountain Lion.app” application into the Application folder of the target system and then run it. (Do not run the installer from the network share, your install will fail) The installer requires an Internet connection on the target machine.

To install using the disk image open the DMG file located on the NAU Shared drive
